Abstract (en)

[origin: US2004152129A1] There is described a biochemical method for detecting one or more protein characteristics. The method utilizes supports (1), wherein the largest dimension (3) of each support (1) is less than 250 mum and wherein each support (1) incorporates sequential identification means (2). The method is distinguished in that it includes the steps of: attaching an information molecule (7), which is capable of interacting with at least one of said one or more protein characteristic to be detected, to a main surface (11) of a support (1); suspending supports (1) comprising one or more different sequential identifications means (2) and one or more different information molecules (7) in a fluid; adding a sample (8) to be analysed to the fluid; detecting interaction signals from supports (1) in the fluid using signal detecting means (40); and reading the sequential identification means (2) of the supports (1) which have an interaction signal using reading means (3), thereby detecting at least one of said one or more protein characteristic (8). There is also described apparatus susceptible for use in executing the above method.
